5 sec is around 3 more shreds :)

Comment by yodadoe

I don't really see this glyph as making the cut for raiding cat DPS. There are four other glyphs I would rather have, those being Savage Roar, Rip, Mangle, and the new Shred (Now increases remaining duration on Rip by 2 seconds each time it is used, up to a maximum of 6 seconds.). Perhaps Berserk would be good for PVP purposes, but I'd rather buff the bread'n'butter attacks that we use all of the time, than Berserk, which has a long CD. And there is great synergy between the glyphs I listed above. The longer Mangle means you can Shred more, which when glyphed, will add time to your Rip... hell, I might put 5 points into Feral Aggression -- combined with the T7 2-set bonus, Rip is gonna be up for so long I'll have extra combo points to spend on Ferocious Bite now.

EDIT: Since Mangle no longer stacks with an Arms Warrior's Trauma, it seems Glyph of Mangle is the odd one out in my list above. We'd still have to Mangle when an arms warrior is not present, but if there is one in the raid, it renders the Glyph of Mangle useless. (Also applies if there's a druid tanking, and spamming Mangle every GCD.)

At 5 seconds, it won't make the cut for my raiding cat dps set. With my back of envelope math, it'd need to last at least 10-11 seconds for that.

It will, however, make my raid bear threat set. This means another 3 bear mangles, during the CD, which is a truckload of threat.

Thank god for dualspec in 3.1.

PVP glyph if you ask me

It's spelled God, use the button between your Control and Caps Lock ;)

On a side note, a cat has 100 energy, regens 20 energy every 2 seconds, that means 10 energy every one second. The GCD for cat, not hasted, is 1 second. Then, the cat can do 8 full shreds without waiting for the energy to regen, then the cat can do 5 more in 10 seconds, thanks to the remaining 5 energy from the 8 full shreds. So that makes it 18 seconds, with the not-glyphed Berserk providing the cat with 15 seconds of half-cost shreds. So, not facturing in CC's, in 15 seconds of a non-glyphed Berserk the cat can do 8 shreds, + 3 since the cat would gain only 70 energy in the 7 remaining seconds of the Berserk. While the glyphed Berserk would allow the cat to squeeze 2, maybe 3 shreds in, of course in reality more - because of the CC procs. Not a bad bargain imo ;)

I'm open for corrections. Cba to write the math I've done, since it's not very smooth for the eye.

Wingman may be referring to Zeus, in which case "god" is not a proper noun and therefore should not be capitalized. Use the space between your ears ;)

Comment by Jernimoo

The phrase "Thank God" screams for a capital letter. Right back at ya ;)

Comment by Quacksaw

Wowhead is not the place for semantical Judeo-Christian superiority complexes. God is not always a proper noun. Use the space between the front and back covers of your fifth-grade English textbook you pompous prick. ;)

Edited to include 'you pompous prick', because Jernimoo's post screams for it.

In Patch 4.0.1, this glyph is now a Prime instead of a Major. The effect remains unchanged.

Comment by kunda311

Just noticed that it now increases Berserk by 10 sec. instead of five — not sure when it was changed, probably with 4.2, and it makes it a much more obvious choice for one of our three prime glyphs now.

Comment by PriestessAur

In Mists of Pandaria this glyph has changed.

OLD: Glyph of Berserk - Increases the duration of Berserk by 10 sec.

NEW: Glyph of Survival Instincts - Reduces the cooldown of Survival Instincts by 60 sec, but reduces its duration by 50%.

As of 5.0.4 this glyph appears to be discoverable via Northerend Inscription research.
